Namibia - Business creation project

Décrivez votre projet en quelques mots

The business protect is going to be established in the north of Namibia, Rundu. The residence will accommodate students from UNAM Rundu campus in partnership with the university at affordable rates to solve lack of housing issues for students.

01.01 Décrivez votre projet en détail

The project is going to construct a student residential building with 15 single rooms(for senior students) and 20 twin rooms( for first year students). The residence will be semi furnished with beds and fridges to be shared per floor. WiFi will be included to enable access to online learning. A printshop will also be included in the project to where students can helped with their printing needs. The project will also include a study room fitted with desktop computers that will accessible by the students residing at the residence. The aim is to make the accommodation hustle free for students and they just check in with their personal belongings and no need to source major furniture items. Security will be incorporated. A shuttle will also be provided for students to be transported at regular intervals between the residence, campus and central town, all costs inclusive in the fees. The university will help facilitate placements of students including those with government funding.

01.02 Quel est le problème principal que vous essayez de résoudre ?

The main problem is scarcity of decent student accommodation that provides the basic needs of a student at the place of residence such as furniture (bed, fridge microwave & stove), WiFi, study area and a tuck shop with daily consumables. The University of Namibia’s Rundu campus was previously a College of Education, focused on training teachers, located in an area once considered semi rural. The on campus accommodation is very small and only accommodates about half of students in need of accommodation. The nearby community is full of shack dwellings and back yard units where students often seek accommodation and not conducive for learning. I am from Rundu myself so would like to contribute some decent, urban residential student housing which will contribute to their success.

01.03 Dites-nous quels sont les principaux avantages et/ou bénéfices de l'utilisation du produit/service que vous souhaitez fournir par votre projet (au moins 3).

The benefits are as follows: - Convenient for students as they do not have to worry about basic furniture. - essentials such as WiFi, electricity and water is all inclusive in the fees - Transport is readily available at regular intervals thus promoting safety especially for late night campus activities and timelines - The location is 5min walking distance to campus. - The accommodation is strictly for students therefore making the environment student friendly.

01.04 Veuillez décrire précisément à qui s'adressera le produit/service de votre projet. Quels sont les bénéficiaires visés ?

The target beneficiaries are students in Rundu(north of Namibia) that will enroll at UNAM Rundu campus, especially students from the neighboring towns.
